Percy would like to say that he didn’t notice Giada’s absence for the next couple days, but he had to admit that, every time he turned around, he half expected to see her.

Finally Shane interrupted one of their sessions and said, “She’s not here. Stop looking for her.”

He stared at him in shock. “What?”

“I can see you,” Shane stated. “You’re not giving 100 percent because you keep looking at the doorway, hoping that Giada will pop in.”

He flushed. “I just … I haven’t seen her for a while.” He frowned. “Is she okay?”

“She’s having some home issues,” Shane noted. “She’s working at getting it resolved now.”

He leaned forward immediately. “But she’s okay, right? Her brother isn’t stopping her?”

“I don’t think so,” Shane replied, looking at him in surprise.

“I know that we were talking about how potentially she would move here, but she told me that it would be a very hard conversation for her brother.”

“I don’t think he’d do anything to physically harm her though,” Shane stated. And then he stopped, looked at Percy, and added, “Unless you know something I don’t know.”

“I don’t know very much at all.” Percy raised both hands, feeling his body wrench with the movement. He hissed at the pain and slowly laid back down again, waiting for the ripples to shudder through him.

“Well, I’ll tell you what. If it’ll make you focus better, I’ll get Dani to check up on her.”

“That would be great.” Percy waited while Shane booked it down the hallway. Percy heard the sound of Shane running, and Percy was jealous to hear that sound of power and control, something he was striving for and one day hoped to get back. Something he needed to get back.

Just that sense of being in control of your body and not having things flop when you didn’t want things to flop and not having things flip when you didn’t want them to flip. He shook his head at that. He carefully went through the exercises Shane had given him because Shane wasn’t here in case Percy ran into trouble. By the time he finished the next set, Shane was back again. “Well? Is she okay?”

He grinned. “She’s taken a couple days off.”

“Really? She didn’t say anything about that.”

“No, maybe not, but Dani said that she’ll move into an apartment over here pretty quickly, so that’s probably why.”

“Oh,” Percy said in delight. “Good for her. I guess that means everything went okay with the brother.”

“Well, Dani got a text this morning, saying Giada wouldn’t be in, but I don’t know that anybody’s heard about how the conversation with the brother went.”

He nodded but felt an odd sense of disquiet. “I don’t feel very good about that,” he replied in a low tone.

Shane settled back on his heels. “What do you mean?”

“I don’t think that brother of hers will be very happy at all that she’s leaving.”

“Are you thinking that he’ll do something stupid?”

“I would hope not,” Percy murmured. “That would be pushing things too far. But I don’t think it’ll be quite so easy to leave as she’s thinking.
